Answer:

The true statements regarding the adrenal glands' relationship with the autonomic nervous system are:

a. The adrenal cortex is an extension of the parasympathetic nervous system.

c. The adrenal glands are strictly nerve tissue.

d. The parasympathetic division stimulates the adrenal cortex to secrete glucocorticoids.

e. The adrenal medulla is penetrated by the fibers of the sympathetic nervous system.

Explanation:

The levels of the central nervous system which play important roles in influencing the autonomic nervous system include cerebral cortex, hypothalamus, brain stem, and spinal cord. Usually, epinephrine (adrenaline) and norepinephrine are released into the blood stem when stress or a threat occurs. This alert serves as a warning signal and defense system. The purpose is to maintain homeostasis.

Luden [163]

The correct answer is the final option - sickle cell disease and malaria are both potentially lethal diseases.
The other options are incorrect because sickle cell disease is an inherited disease, but malaria is not - it is an infectious disease. However, both of these disease are quite dangerous, and may have severe consequences (such as death) if they are not properly treated.
